The ‘Early Chimu’ civilization is more often lumped together with other cultures and referred by another name (Moche) and these ‘Early Chimu’ et al, subsided by 700. They regained their substance over a 200 year period as the ‘Chimu’ civilization and were conquered by Inca 1470.

Wish I'd had this when I was still teaching. I did deep dives into the 6th and 14th centuries with my kids (even the Avars!), and on top of the interesting Krakatoa theory, it's such a great way to show that global interconnectedness is not a 20-21st century innovation.

The Reason For The DarkAges ln 536 Was the great fslling away of the New Testament church that Paul warned about some 500 years in advance. (ACTS 20:20-30). Wherefore, watch ye! (ACTS 20:31) Another prophecy concerning the falling away of the Lord’s church is given in (l TIMOTHY 4:1-3) Another of the significant prophecies in the New Testament period, that there would be those in the church of our Lord that would lead the church into a widespread falling away, “departure from the truth” or, apostasy. (Il THESSALONIANS 2:1-4) OR AS GOD’S REPRESENTATIVE HERE UPON THE EARTH. Or, The Popes Of Rome. In all of these passages, the inspired apostle Paul foretold very clearly, and very certainly, that there would be a great falling away of the church. HE FORETOLD HOW IT WOULD COME It would come about through the elders, “the overseers of the church of our Lord” Speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after them.

Very interesting. In my country, Peru, there was a pre-Inka civilization that suddenly disappeared by the VII century, Chimu civilization. Archeologists have blamed to El Niño for it, but it is not difficult to see the connection between El Niño and the volcanic eruption.

The 9th century had another great catastrophe, one that would split up the Athabaskan or Na-Dene peoples of Northwestern North America. In fact, around the 9th century, a major volcanic eruption occurred in Alaska's, known as the White River Ash Eruption, which displaced numerous Athabaskan peoples, notably the Navajo, Apache, Chippewa, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, and Chiricahua peoples to the Modern Day Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. These Native American groups were separated from its Northern Athabaskan/Na-Dene counterparts, including the Koyukon, Tanana, Ahtna, Dena'ina, Deg Xinag, Han, Gwich'in, Tutchone, Tagish, Tlingit, Kaska, Chipewyan, South Slavey (Dene Zhatie), North Slavey (Sahtu), and Dogrib (Tlicho). If you ever wonder why Navajo artifacts, clothing, and language sound and look similar to counterparts in Yukon, Northwest Territories (Denendeh), and Alaska, its due to the fact that the Navajo and native peoples of Northwestern North America are related.

Amazing information! I’m hooked with the era because the year 536 CE was on Professor’s Robert Dull mind in which the responsible was ilopango caldera volcano in El Salvador. Recently Professor Ivan Sunye-Puchol narrowed the eruption to 431 CE by sampling a tree as well. I been diving and studying ilopango since 1996. We keep an eye on a lava dome with fumaroles present. Highest temperature I have registered at 23 meters underwater is 58°C. The caldera is such an active volcano. I’m in the middle of generating an animation of the last eruption it had in 1879-1880.

He writes the program and then act surprised that he is getting the results he programmed to get. And declaring it science because it can be “tested”. It’s a joke.

Scientists. This is an old documentary and like they said tree rings being directly examined had already been around for over a decade. Based on the technology you can easily see that this documentary is from the 90s. But knowing that tree rings in general could tell you that is much older knowledge. Did you not get taught that in school? I suppose I don't know your age but I would think that you would have been taught it if you were in school anytime in (at least) the past 35-40 years.

We only heard about it later, after we had landed in Iceland.

I find some of the evidence presented here to be a little shaky, but as a whole this is an impressive documentary. The story time line is almost too vast to follow, the subject matter is artistically held front and center as the surrounding story carrys on, filling in as you go dozens of reasons to find this theory of an earlier eruption of Krakatoa absolutely fascinating. Catastrophism has become a bit of a hobby for me lately. If you are reading this and you are into earthquakes and volcanos and other horrific behaviors our world can get up to from time to time, do a search for the Phoenix event.

The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816. This brief period of significant climate change triggered extreme weather and harvest failures (and mud floods) in many areas around the world. Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed after any other large volcanic eruption since the early Stone Age.' Similar to the one above which probably had not been researched when this about Tambora was written.

This is starting out WONDERFULLY!!!! I'm going to be late for work so I better go... I'll finish this tonight!! Great documentary so far! Thank you

Fascinating and terrifying

Very thought provoking.

Beautifully done documentary. I am in awe of the incredible work done by all these people. 👍🏻🇦🇺

Incredibly informative. Outstanding video. Thank you.

... A small plug for author Simon Winchester ... ' Krakatoa ' ... a great book (and it mentions this eruption as a predecessor to the more famous 1883 eruption)

I recently bought that book and so far am on page 49. I also have several of Ann Rule's books and plan on getting the rest of her 41 books to put in my writing desk which is over 100 years old. It was built by my great-great grandpa Sim in Perthshire Scotland. And was brought to Washington state by great-grandpa Sim. It was handed down to the eldest daughter in the family, and that is how I now have it. The top part is the bookshelf with doors, the middle is a desk that has a "door" to lay down on bars that are pulled out, and the bottom has three drawers. Everything on it is original except for the handles on the bars which are now spools from sewing thread. I got it from my mom! I was lucky enough to be born the first girl of the 5 girls and 2 boys in my family!

Wow! Very good description of this mans studies and reason for his conclusions

The poem about the "men of Gododdin" was not written in the 6th century. It was written much later, about the 8th or 9th century. It refers to the Kingdom of Gododdin in what is now southeast Scotland. The battle was around 600 CE when the Angles defeated the Gododdin and took their stronghold "Dyn Edin" and renamed it Edinburgh.

We have (or had) cypress trees thousands of years old in Southern swamps, even in my area of central Louisiana, if the greedy New Yorkers haven`t came and destroyed the last of them. One bought the nearby lake I grew up on and chopped down all the ancient trees despite locals doing everything possible to stop it. Many people survived by fishing in the lake and gathering wild fruit from trees that were also clear cut to make a TULIP FARM! But there may still be ancient stumps or living trees on Catahoula Lake. I know there are trees in this area well over 3000 years old. And I`ve seen huge tree trunks exposed in creek beds buried in the ground. There are also ancient trees under the water in the Gulf of Mexico and buried deep in the deposits of the Mississippi River Valley. We drilled into ancient tree trunks over 100 feet underground making a water well nearly 200 ft deep.

...and now we have seen the largest recorded volcanic eruption in January 2022. Having lived through, witnessed and experienced the eruptions of Mt St Helens in 1980 and witness to the destructive power of those events, I am reminded of (Revelation 8:8 ESV) where "a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea". Clearly, nothing far from the realm of possibility, let alone probability even to the most casual of observers. A fascinating study! Thank you!!

So many un-answered questions addressed in this doco,!! I'm amazed that two such seemingly humble men have made such credible connections. It's a an eye-opener for sure! Best 'what & why' ( RE: dissapearing or demise 'mysterys') theory on past civilizations history doco I've watched. 10 out of 10! These guys dererve much praise and accolades. And as Mr.Keys says at the end... It should be far more well considered by our experts and leaders how we could , or would cope, if such devastation should fall upon us again.
